Taco Recipe

Chris came down the other day and instead of going out to get Chipotle, we decided to make him tacos. I wasn't sure how Chris would react since he is really a meat and potatoes kind of guy. IT turns out he liked them as much as Amy and I do. This past weekend we expanded our test sample to include the members of our church couples group with similar results. Even the toddlers ate them, for the most part. There are always those kids that only eat individual foods at a time. Recipes are lost on those kinds of kids.

I wish I had a picture but I think you can all envision what ground beef and taco shells look like.

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 Small onion, chopped
3 Medium cloves garlic
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 cayenne pepper
1 tsp table salt
1 pound 90% lean ground beef
1/2 tomato sauce
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp cider vinegar

1. Heat oil in large frying pan and cook onions until soft, ~5min.
2. Add garlic and spices and cook for 1 min.
3. Add ground beef and break up with wooden spoon. Cook until browned.
4. Add tomato sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, and vinegar
5. Simmer for 5 minutes

Of course this doesn't cover all the various extra bits, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and all that.
